1985. Fountains of Wayne.

I had a friend in grade 7 who always said the song reminded her of me and she just had to play it for me.

I kissed a girl for the first time in 1985. It was beautiful. She called the cops on me. One of those sentences is false. ;)

Oops.

I had a feeling I was wrong. Didn't even bother to Google it.

All those quirky groups of the early 2000s pretty much sound the same.

1985 was a great year, yeah. I got hold of the C64 and frittered away lots of time playing soccer games... I was a gullible and innocent little rascal... oh wait... 1985 is also a song?

Jealous of you guys who have memories of the 80s. I wasn't even swimming around in dad's balls at that point.

Spoiler for wah wah:
I hate being 24 in the 21st century, this isn't even fair.

I had a c16 and a timex sinclair back then. In 86 I moved up to an Atari 128xl with a floppy drive that took like 20 minutes to load a game.

Why are you jealous of having memories of the 80s, out of curiosity? I have nostalgic feelings about the 80s because I was a kid then but I don't think it's any better of a decade than the one we're living in now when all is said and done.

It's not my chosen decade, but it seems it was a strange, self-indulgent time to be alive.

For me the 80's had a special air about them that I've not experienced again.

I think it was actually less self-indulgent then than it is now honestly, but it did have an interestingly sharp divide between pop culture and counterculture—much more so than any decade since I think.

That was from all the hairspray. :p:

Yes. I turned fifteen that year and I'd already gotten bit by the music bug about two years prior by that point. It was a lot of fun as far as the music. Hard rock was riding high at the time, with Queensryche leading the way for me as far as my greatest memory of the bands of that era. Unfortunately, it was also the Reagan era and ultra right wing propaganda was at it's height, starting with all of Nancy Reagan's 'Just Say No' bull**** and the so-called "war on drugs". The ONLY thing that was accomplished from that farce was bucketloads of wasteful spending of tax dollars and substantial tax write-offs for wealthy elected officials. Truth be told, it's no wonder why the 90's would take popular music into a darker direction, THANKFULLY! Gen X was definitely the "product" of that environment, and NOT for the better ( :mad: )!! Interesting question.

1985 by The Crash Kings is another 1985 song

Black Francis 08-02-2014 01:08 PM

I was 2 yrs old so i don't remember much..

The thing about the 80's i most remember though is the hair style they used and my mom's shoulder pad suits.

1985 - Bowling For Soup

Didn't really like the music video, but the song is good.

Vitne Eveille 08-23-2014 08:13 PM

fun fact: it was actually written by and recorded by SR-71 (yes the same band that did "Right Now") first, but then it was given to Bowling For Soup to re-record and release.

It was on SR-71's "Here We Go Again" released only in Japan in 2004 (so if you check Spotify, it will say 2010 because that is the US release).

Mitch, singer of SR-71, has a cameo in the Bowling For Soup video
